Issue 1, Volume 1 | November 24th, 2007 - "Live. Sleek. Informative."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The past few weeks at the Project Onyx development site

 

have been indeed quite busy, working on something more

 

outstanding, interactive, and informative than any other RS

 

newspaper has attempted to bring you before. Welcome to

 

Project Onyx v2. While we have had a gap in publishing the past

 

few weeks for the development of this beautiful new version,

 

we can assure you that it's well worth it :). Here's what new in the v2:

 

 

 

The Logo

 

At the top of our page, we have a beautiful new logo to

 

symbolize Project Onyx v2, as well as some special holiday-themed

 

ones we're eager to release. How's that for eye candy? ;)

 

 

 

OnyxCast

 

One of my personal favorites that's new on Project Onyx v2 is

 

OnyxCast. It's an up-to-date, always-on, and live news ticker

 

for Project Onyx. Not only is it productive, it's also, if I may

 

say, very sleek. Informative, and beautiful :D (In Firefox, the

 

OnyxCast ticker is stored in the cache longer; in IE, thet OnyxCast

 

ticker is forced to re-cache each time. This is due to certain phpBB

 

limitations. The ticker will reload regardless if there is a new

 

message.)

 

 

 

Headline News

 

The first and most important section of the paper, where you

 

can read the headline news article for the week, about recent

 

updates, events, and the like.

 

 

 

Literature

 

Here you can read the daily chapters from the current series

 

in our paper, written by our impressive and dedicated literature

 

team.

 

 

 

Gaming Outlook

 

The Gaming Outlook section of the paper is the only section not

 

about Gielinor, where you can read what's going on in the entire

 

gaming world.

 

 

 

Entertainment

 

The entertainment section of the paper is a weekly collection of

 

media including pictures, music, and videos based upon Runescape.

 

 

 

Interviews

 

Every other week, we will be bring you an interesting interview from

 

someone special!

 

 

 

OnyxIRC

 

OnyxIRC is another new section, dedicated to the new Project Onyx

 

IRC channel. Here, you can find information on how to enter the channel,

 

as well as scheduled meetings/conferences, and the like. Sadly, the OnyxIRC

 

channel will be offline for the first issue duration :'(.

 

 

 

Editorials

 

At the end of the paper you will find the Editorials section. Similar to

 

a Letters to the Editor sections, here we will reply to comments and

 

questions sent in by our readers, as well as the opinions and behind

 

the scenes from our editors.

Section/Chapter: Part 1: Scout; Chapter 1: Unexpected Encounter

 

Author: Shadowcheval

 

 

 

Chapter 1: An Unexpected Encounter

 

A bleak landscape of grays, blacks, and browns, dotted with trees and various monsters. Blackened, decaying trees and dark, ominous dirt surround the area. Through this landscape a lone man ran. A majestic, yellow cape with a half moon and a star on the back, a ripped blue shirt, dark blue trousers, gray gauntlets, large, yellow boots, and yellow gloves were his simple attire. His roughshod hair was a sky blue as was his thick beard.

 

 

 

He seemed to not be running from anything, neither man nor beast, but seemed to be following some trail he alone knew. Stopping by a particularly tall tree he rested and consulted a map. He quickly made a few marks with a bright red feather and then continued on.

 

 

 

ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅOnly a bit farther to go, and soon this area will be mapped, too.ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâÃ

Good issue.

Good article Skill.

 

Sorry about PW2 though, I didn't get around to reupload it and edit some stuff out. Will be up ASAP though.

Interesting articles, awesome graphics, great organisation. Project Onyx is definitely one of the best newspapers. :)

 

 

 

Give my compliments to the staff, their hard work payed off. :)

That's because, as it says in the title and headline article, this is a new version, not a new edition ;) And, it's generally agreed that versions take longer time to develop than new issues ;)

do you mean editions? and hows it a different "version"?

 

:? i've never understood how the heck you organize your versions, editions, issues, newspaper or portals, or heck whatever you want to call them.

Instead of making a new edition of the paper(like you guys do) They completely revised the layout of the paper, and put new articles on there.

Nice Job. Kudos to the editor and staff.

 

 

 

I love it.

is it against the rules of newspaper-ing for us to do that?
